Then came the most gruesome: Offensive lineman Will Beatty fractured his
right leg in a third-quarter collision with Washington Redskins' cornerback
DeAngelo Hall.

"It's a fracture of some kind. I'm not sure what exactly," Giants coach Tom Coughlin said.

Coughlin said that Manning had an upper ankle injury. Manning had his leg in a boot when he talked to reporters.

Of all the injuries in the Giants' 20-6 victory at MetLife Stadium on Sunday, Beatty -- understandably -- has the longest road rehab ahead. But New York orthopedic surgical resident Adam Bitterman told NJ.com that Beatty could be back by training camp.

It's the latest setback for Beatty, who has struggled in the first year of a five-year deal that came with $19 million guaranteed. He's allowed a team-high 13 sacks, according to ProFootballFocus.com.

Since Coughlin told reporters that the fracture was somewhere along his leg, Bitterman said Beatty likely has one of the following types of fractures:

Tibia plateau (upper portion of the lower leg)

Tibia shaft (middle part of lower leg)

Ankle or distal tibia (lower leg)

All the fractures require surgery to insert nails, screws and/or metal plates, Bitterman said. The recovery ranges three to six months, as long as there no other damage -- like to tendons or cartilage -- is found.

"Beatty's treatment will be dictated by the fracture pattern and its location," Bitterman said. "Ultimately, his ability to return to the NFL playing field will be determined by his rehab once cleared to begin."
